Most legendary slasher movie ever. Directed and co-written by Tobe Hooper. 83min imdb
Recap:
In Muerto County there is an especially vile case of grave robbery, so the siblings Sally and Franklin go there to look after their grandfather’s grave, along with three friends. On their way back they decide to stop the grandfather’s house, and Pam and Kirk want to swim.
In the past I have only watched a family friendly edit of this. Now for the first time I saw the full 83min and I must say that I am most impressed. This is one of best horror movies ever. There is almost no runtime padding except for some dialog among the main characters which really helps no one. The rest of the movie strictly serves the story, with the parts summing up to a whole so perfectly as they usually don’t, especially not in slasher movies. And Hooper himself, surely not the worst in the industry, never managed to do something quite like this ever again. Which of course is cool. With this one masterpiece he is ahead of most writers and directors, including many blockbuster makers.
Reminder
In the comment section they say that this doesn’t work in USA and Canada, so in case of doubt please pick a german server for your VPN.

Not Hooper’s best work, but the song is a timeless classic.
